A Little Something Sweet
Chocolate Salted Caramel Swirl Meringues
These are no ordinary meringues. This recipe takes what is typically an airy, slightly crisp cookie and transforms it into something delightfully rich, chewy, and full of flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 2 tbsp. caramel
- ¼ c. dark chocolate, minimum 80% cocoa solids, broken into pieces
- 4 egg whites
- 1 c. caster sugar
- 1 tsp. white wine vinegar

- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Line two large baking trays with greaseproof paper. Mix ½ teaspoon of the sea salt with the caramel and set aside. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water and set aside to cool.
- On a medium speed, whisk the egg whites in the bowl of an electric stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. When added, increase the speed to high and continue whisking for about 8 minutes. Reduce the speed and add the white wine vinegar. Increase the speed again and whisk for another 2 minutes.
- Spoon ten meringues onto the trays and drizzle a little of the salted caramel on top. Swirl into the meringue mixture using a knife. Drizzle a little chocolate over each meringue, and again, gently swirl into the meringue. Sprinkle over the remaining sea salt.
- Place in the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 250°F and then bake for 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow to cool for a further 30 minutes in the oven. Set aside to cool. Makes 10
